Gilles Peterson readies his Masterpiece

Due out this September on Ministry of Sound, the three-disc mix features Scuba, Locussolus, Roy Ayers and many more.

Gilles Peterson has mixed the next edition of Masterpiece, due for release in September.

The mix will be the fourth in Ministry Of Sound's series, following editions by Francois K, Jazzie B and, most recently, Fabio and Grooverider. Much like its predecessors, it's an ambitious release, with three discs ("Dusk," "Dawn" and "Twilight") exploring all corners of the electronic music spectrum—a task to which Peterson is especially well-suited, given his decades of experience as a label manager, club and radio DJ. According to a press release, Masterpiece was two years in the making. It reveals the full breadth of Peterson's eclectic style, touching on bass artists like Scuba and Kode9, dabbling in avant-house from Henrik Schwarz and Bugge Wesseltoft and tracing the development of club music from Dinosaur L to Art Department.

No one was seriously injured in the incident, which took place in the early hours of Sunday morning in Edmonton.
